Septic Tank & Sewage System Specialists in Housatonic, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 August 2023
“Had a emergency and called Berkshire Green Septic, they came out pretty fast, even though the weather was not nice. Diagnosed and fixed the problem. Left area neat and clean. Gave us some tips we can do to help prevent future problems. Septic system is working better then ever, a few issues we just assumed we're normal when we bought the house were gone. How awesome is that? Will call them again if (hopefully not) another emergency comes up.”

Sewage treatment is a dilemma for all new house constructions that are not without ready connection to local council services. Once installed, your effluent is dealt with in a tank that allows separation and absorption into the ground. Septic system experts in Housatonic, MA will let you know if your setup must meet Environment Protection Authority Guidelines.

Septic tank prices in Housatonic vary depending on the size of the family home, just as installations will be pricier in less forgiving landscapes which require more planning and excavation. Wastewater management may also include the treatment of grey water - wastewater collected from washing machines, dishwashers and kitchen sinks.

How Do Septic Tank and Sewage Systems Work?


A large concrete or steel septic tank can hold up to 1,000 gallons of water. Wastewater comes down into the tank on one side from your Housatonic, MA home’s sewage pipes and leaves the tank on the other side. Gases go up through a vent pipe through the roof of the house. Wastewater flows out of the septic tank and into a drain field made of perforated pipes, deeply buried and covered in gravel-filled trenches.

The drain field tends to be about 180 centimetres deep and sixty centimetres wide. Ultimately, the size of the drain field depends on how well the soil absorbs water, with slow-absorbing soil requiring a larger drain field. About one metre of gravel covers the drain pipes, with dirt filling the remainder.

Installing a septic tank system is best left to a licensed advanced wastewater treatment system installer, who can anticipate what size drain field your Housatonic, MA system will need. Whether you’re working on a new build or a renovation, make sure your septic expert and installer openly communicates with your builder or plumber.
